Modern Warfare 3

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has had its first major trailer pushed out showing off the gameplay of the upcoming shooter.

Let’s not forget who the underdog is here, however. Bowling also made a point of tweeting that the frame rate is locked at 60 frames per second in MW3, and that was “a core design principle” for the game.

How Battlefield 3′s super-shiny visuals will perform on console platforms, and exactly how DICE will streamline them to run at a playable level, remains to be seen.

One way or another, there’ll be one certain winner, and that’s the humble gamer benefiting from the increased competitiveness which is being stoked due to both these war shooters coming out head-to-head this autumn.
